I would agree with you and I'm sure the big carriers are behind a lot of
this because it's just another way to be anti-competitive when it
doesn't really fix the entire problem. I'm not sure what type of switch
you have, but this only works with VOIP. If you still use your SS7
network then it doesn't apply because no one has figured out how to make
it work properly with SS7.

To put my response to this pricing in context, we are a relatively
small regional broadband provider, and voice is a fraction of a
fraction of our business. I'd wager just about everyone else here has
a larger voice subscriber base than we do, and most of you probably
didn't blink when you saw the price-tag on what it would take to
become part of the STIR/SHAKEN ecosystem...just the cost of doing
business, right?
The telco I work for is rural, starting 75 years ago with party lines,
etc. Telephone is still very important to us, but of course, Internet
is where more of the action is these days. We still operate our own
telephony switches geographically placed throughout our network and
take pride in being able to withstand all sorts of failure scenarios.
That is to say, we are still investing a lot of resources to maintain
a good telephone experience for our subscribers.
And yet, we still fell out of chairs when we saw just how much money
various vendors were charging for the various portions of the
STIR/SHAKEN implementation.
Just the cost of doing business, you ask? I feel that vendors realize
that this is something we are being FORCED into, and can charge
accordingly.
